Essure

Essure belongs to a class of contraceptive options that are permanent and irreversible. It is cited as the gold standard in permanent sterilization, Essure is nonmedicinal, and does not release any hormone in the body. Nurx™ doesn’t offer Essure as a birth control option, but if you are interested in finding the most effective birth control solution, you can consult Nurx, an affordable and reliable platform that provides easy access to birth control options. And for only $5 for your first back of birth control pills, why wait?

FAQ

Essure offers 100 percent protection to women who are not already pregnant at the time of the procedure. Once inserted, Essure needs about three months for tubal plugs to be formed and block the fallopian tubes. During this time, women are encouraged to use another form of birth control.

Essure is a metallic insert made up of a combination of stainless steel, polyethylene terephthalate fibers, and nickel titanium. This combination has been successfully used in other surgical procedures to elicit a natural fibrotic ingrowth around the device. When placed in the fallopian tubes, Essure prevents pregnancy by permanently blocking the fallopian tubes by promoting natural ingrowths.

Patients should have a follow-up appointment after the procedure to make sure that inserts are placed appropriately and causing natural ingrowths to block the fallopian tubes.
As with any medical procedure, please have a detailed discussion with your doctor to understand if Essure is the right choice for your birth control needs. Some health conditions such as the history of cancers of the reproductive organs, chemotherapy or other health conditions that compromise or weaken your immune system will disqualify you for Essure.
